Healthy Eating Plan Comparison

When I first started this class I had a bad eating habit, I was always on the go, so grabbing a quick lunch or a snack fit right into my schedule. In the first week of class I did the healthy eating plan and it shocked me at the results. I was doing major damage to my body.

I noticed that I gained a great deal of pounds within a short period of time, but I always made excuses for it. Come to find out it was all because of my eating habit.

It actually helps lower the risks of many diseases by 20-25%. The diseases it helps with are type 2 diabetes, cirrhosis, and colorectal cancer. I also found out that eating sugary foods is not only bad for my health but my teeth and it is a majority of the reason I am overweight. My last Healthy Eating Plan paper shows my old
